Possible, but AGE-1 Sparrow was shown only having the ninja knife and the Zedas flew around AGE-1 during Nora's evac battle, using its speed effectively and engaging only with its spam hand cannons. I guess AGE-1 Sparrow can use the DODS rifle and throw the knife...just once.

The Spallow also has a Needgun for ranged attacks. Not increasing my confidence but........

After seeing episode 3, I've been thinking: Given the AGE Builder's ability to make equipment based on battle data, and the fact that the Zedas is supposedly 3 times faster than normal UE suits, and assuming the Baqto's bulkiness means they're some kind of heavy weapon type - could it be that the Spallow was designed to combat the Zedas, and the Titus the Baqto?

I'm thinking that could be a distinct possibility.

Anyway, it would appear that plasma energy is alive and well in the AGE universe.

One other thing I noticed today in episode 3, is that the human characters keep referring to the UE as "mobile suit type". They just don't say "mobile suit", but instead add "type in there"

Its essentially the same thing actually when your dealing with an enemy. Feldt referred to Reborns as the "Gundam type" enemy in 00, which Reborns officially is and indeed looks like one. Because you don't know what the enemy officially classified its units, you sometime have to guess based on similarities on how it looks like. Whether the Gafrans are indeed called mobile suits by whatever the hell they're piloted by, they are in practice the same thing as a mobile suit in the basic sense of a humanoid-like mobile weapon.

If I recall correctly, the HG Gafran manual seem to use the mobile suit word in it as well.

Because the colony core seems to be using plasma propulsion engines to move it, I'm going to speculate that the human ships and mobile suits use it as well. They all have the same blue thrust so far.

Okay thanks alot that really helps to clarify things I was thinking the needle gun was some sort of hand held weapon to begin with.

Also am I the only one wondering what the Age Gundam is made of clearly from the way it's armor is holding up against enemy fire compared to the Genoace it's outer shell is made from different materials.

It could be answered in a week (by episode 4), but these doesn't look like one of those generic gundam medical capsules. Just one active out of atleast four...cryogenic containers for EFF artificial newtypes? AGE system humanoid terminals?

Of course, Wolf could be just be recovering from his last UE battle.

Or it could be if cryogenics is used some for long distance space travel and the Woolf and any other new pilots in the pods only arrived shortly before the UE attack.

It's said the Sparrow is a faster variant of the AGE. But...how so? I don't see many boosters on it. Is the armor supposed to be lighter?

Due to the lack of mecha elaboration at this moment (which I hope will change soon), I'm going to assume its just magically faster. However.......

Weight is likely one of the reasons. The Spallow weighs 33.4 tons while Normal weighs 43.4 tons. That's almost a 25% decrease in mass. Also, increasing your limb mobility can actually increase the general mobility of the suit because you can utilise the AMBAC better. For example Exia from 00 has better mobility than its other three Gundam peers (even Kyrios) mainly because of the better articulation of its legs according to it's MG. If Spallow's new limb parts are inherently more mobile and more humanlike, that by itself can improve mobility. Another speculation of mine is that the power distribution is tuned differently, that it might have less power going into the armor and more power into the thrusters for stronger propulsion thus completing the standard RPG speed specialized setup of more speed and less armor.

If only the Sigil Blade can generate a powerful beam saber and the Spallow would have a small vulcan on its left arm, I think it would be quite decent. I'm hoping the AGE Builder can give it more weapons because that small blade and the need gun feels like it's not enough.
